Tom likes cycling

I took up cycling in November 1994, aged 20, at the instigation of a couple of friends (see Melbourne - Sydney, Preamble). Since then I have cycled around 13000km on three bikes, two Trek 850s and a Trek 6300. The first one, Brak the Barbarian, a 22 1/2" purple beast, was sadly stolen from Macquarie University in August of 1995. I mourned for about a month, and then bought myself an identical beast, except for the colour, green, and the name, Korak... the Killer. The most recent, a smaller silver one, has yet to earn a name.

Brak completed rides from Melbourne to Sydney, and Sydney to the Hunter Valley, whilst Korak has only ridden some of the New Zealand North Island and done a lot of commuting. Korak has however travelled much much further, although quite a bit in the hold of a plane!
